Book Synopsis Cranky Frankie and the Oceans of Trash by : Sue Pillans
Download or read book Cranky Frankie and the Oceans of Trash written by Sue Pillans. This book was released on 2022-02-02. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This story illustrates the impacts of marine debris told through the eyes of our ocean creatures. Frankie the Porcupine fish takes us on a journey through the ocean where she and her friends become tangled in trash. This makes Frankie very CRANKY! . As she has the natural ability to blow herself up when she is threatened or upset she inflates throughout the story to the size of a balloon as she sees all of her friends in oceans of trash. Frankie goes in search of helping her tangled friends and cleaning up the ocean that they love The focus of this story is on marine debris, which now impacts all marine and coastal habitats around the world. Our marine wildlife is also impacted by marine debris and plastic pollution through ingestion, entanglement, habitat changes and bioaccumulation, with marine debris entanglement now an internationally recognised threat. As this story is told through the eyes of Frankie the fish the readers will see the far-reaching impacts of marine debris on our oceans and wildlife as she swims through the oceans from the shallows, to the reef to the open ocean. As marine debris doesn't just appear out of nowhere, it is more important than ever to educate our future ocean stewards (our children) about the impacts of marine debris. Through the art of marine science this story will help children to be more aware of the types of marine debris and the impacts to sea creatures, along with everyday solutions to help rid our oceans of trash. Education and awareness through storytelling is a powerful way of engaging with children and their readers (eg. teachers, parents, grandparents, family, friends etc) as only through positive storytelling with solutions can we hope to change behaviours. Based on the latest marine science the last page of the story is dedicated to the science of marine debris, which is explained in terms early readers can understand and teachers can use as part of their classroom discussions and learning activities.

Book Synopsis Roger the Wrasse and the Itchie Fishies by : Sue Pillans aka Suzie Starfish
Download or read book Roger the Wrasse and the Itchie Fishies written by Sue Pillans aka Suzie Starfish. This book was released on 2024-07-15. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This story draws attention to the importance of biodiversity on the reef and illustrates the special roles and relationships animals have under the sea. Told through the eyes of Roger the wrasse, a small and brightly coloured reef fish who is in charge of a cleaning station on the reef. Roger's bright colours are almost like a neon sign advertising his 'cleaning services' to other sea creatures on the reef. This is the actual action used by cleaner fish to remove dead skin, parasites and bacteria from the bodies of their 'clients'. This is a very special relationship as the cleaner fish provide a cleaning service to their 'clients' and in return, the cleaners get a full stomach. This is a great example of mutualism in nature where two organisms of different species are in a relationship where both benefit. Through the art of marine science this story will help children to become aware of the importance of biodiversity on the reef. This real-life nature story also illustrates the benefits of helping each other, an important concept to share with young readers. Education and awareness through storytelling is a powerful way of engaging with children and their readers (eg. teachers, parents, grandparents, family, friends etc) as only through positive storytelling can we hope to change behaviours and encourage children to look after each other and look after and protect the ocean. Based on the latest marine science the last page of the story explains reef cleaning stations and the concept of mutualism in nature which is explained in terms early readers can understand and teachers can use as part of their classroom discussions and learning activities.

Book Synopsis Sophie's World by : Jostein Gaarder
Download or read book Sophie's World written by Jostein Gaarder. This book was released on 2007-03-20. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A page-turning novel that is also an exploration of the great philosophical concepts of Western thought, Jostein Gaarder's Sophie's World has fired the imagination of readers all over the world, with more than twenty million copies in print. One day fourteen-year-old Sophie Amundsen comes home from school to find in her mailbox two notes, with one question on each: "Who are you?" and "Where does the world come from?" From that irresistible beginning, Sophie becomes obsessed with questions that take her far beyond what she knows of her Norwegian village. Through those letters, she enrolls in a kind of correspondence course, covering Socrates to Sartre, with a mysterious philosopher, while receiving letters addressed to another girl. Who is Hilde? And why does her mail keep turning up? To unravel this riddle, Sophie must use the philosophy she is learning—but the truth turns out to be far more complicated than she could have imagined.
